“That’s right!” Gu Yanfei clapped her hands gently and said very slowly, “…A life for a life.”
Gu Yanfei smiled meaningfully. Her dark eyes were as bright as cold stars.
This smile, this gaze, it was as if she knew everything, as if she had seen through the secrets buried in their hearts!
Madam Hua’s heart skipped a beat. She was so guilty that she could barely look Gu Yanfei in the eye.
“Exchanging lives for lives. Heaven’s Will has always been fair.” Gu Yanfei stared at Madam Hua. Her words were like ice, piercing her heart like ice needles.
Fair my ass! If not for her usual upbringing, Madam Hua would have spat out. She said hatefully,
“Heaven’s Will is unfair!”
She said these words almost hysterically, and tears poured down her face.
“If Heaven’s Will was fair, it wouldn’t have let my son die at such a young age!” Her voice was choked with sobs.
Her eldest son was only 18 years old. He wasn’t even married yet!
Although he was weak, he had been smart since he was young. He studied hard and was far more talented than his second son. He was the top scholar and her pride!
However, the heavens were jealous of geniuses. The heavens insisted on snatching him away!
As a mother, she couldn’t save her eldest son. She only wanted her eldest son to have a smooth life in his next life. What was wrong with that?!
Not only was her eldest son dying, but even her second son’s life was in danger. It was Gu Yanfei who had harmed her second son.
The anger in Madam Hua’s eyes intensified, as if she was a mother protecting her cub. “Why, why did you harm my son!!”
In her excitement, Madam Hua rushed towards Gu Yanfei again without care. However, she had just taken a step when Master Hua grabbed her arm.
Master Hua gestured for his wife to calm down with his eyes. Then, he cupped his hands at Gu Yanfei and said in a negotiating tone, “Second Lady Gu, as long as you resolve the sorcery cast on my son, we can let bygones be bygones.” Master Hua’s deep eyes were filled with doubt.
The Hua family had always had the custom of marrying off children who had died young.
There was a secret technique in the family that had been passed down from generation to generation. As long as a woman with matching eight characters married a man in the family who had died young, the family could prosper.
This kind of secret technique was only known to the main branch and was never passed on to outsiders. Their Hua family had relied on it to prosper generation after generation. Their family had already been prominent for 300 years.
He thought that this time would be as smooth as the previous generations, but he didn’t expect Second Lady Gu to appear halfway.
“You’re wrong.” Gu Yanfei seemed to have heard a joke. She casually shook her index finger. “You’re the ones who cast the sorcery, not me!”
As expected! At this point, Master Hua was sure of one thing. Second Lady Gu indeed knew that they were getting married to the Lu family to match up with an underworld marriage.
Second Lady Gu had first caused Shangqing Spiritual Master to fall into her hands. Now, she could easily crack this secret relationship and make their Hua family suffer a huge loss. She was definitely not an ordinary person.
Master Hua didn’t want to offend an expert like Gu Yanfei. This would only cause trouble for the Hua family.
Master Hua said solemnly, “Second Lady Gu, it’s better to resolve enmity than to keep it alive. What do you want?”
Madam Hua glared at Gu Yanfei with fire in her eyes. She was so agitated that she seemed to want to rush towards Gu Yanfei again at any moment.
“Wrong again.” Gu Yanfei shook her index finger again. “What do you want?!”
Gu Yanfei forced her spiritual power into her eyes. An abnormally bright stream of light flashed across her eyes as she stared deeply at Master Hua. Her eyes were as deep as the vast and boundless starry sky, as if she was looking at him or seeing something else.
This unfathomable gaze made Master Hua’s hair stand on end. It was as if someone had seen through his weakness, as if she had seen through him inside and out.
Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and smiled.
This smile was light and shallow, as if it was sighing and pitying.
“…” Master Hua tried his best to stand calmly. He couldn’t help but suspect that Gu Yanfei might know more than he thought. Did she even see through the Hua family’s secrets…
Gu Yanfei ignored Master Hua and turned to look at Madam Hua. “Your two sons are sick. I can save them.”
After a pause, she added, “I can save both of them.”
She smiled slightly, calm and leisurely. The confidence in her bones naturally exuded with every gesture.
“…” Madam Hua was stunned. Her body froze, and her mind was empty..
